Taxacom: probable noun in apposition

[Francisco Welter-Schultes]

Subsequent spellings pierroti are incorrect subsequent spellings or, if 
the conditions of Art. 33.2.1 apply, unjustified emendations.

A "legal" correction of a spelling of a name would follow Art. 32.5, in 
this case 32.5.1. It seems that the conditions specified there are not 
satisfied in this case. In this case Art. 32.2 applies, pierrot is the 
correct original spelling.
If only some authors use the corrected spelling and others use the 
original spelling, then it is not a case of prevailing usage which could 
allow a legal usage of the corrected form.

Best wishes
Francisco
